I think the biggest improvement area in your work is making more confident strokes without wobbles that go all the way through from point A to B. It already seems like you've improved on this since you began, with obvious improvement in your organic perspective exercise. I also thought your ability to rotate the shapes in your rotated boxes exercise was really impressive, though some of the lines could have been straighter or marked more confidently.

Next Steps:

250 box challenge!

Sketching: The Basics

Sketching: The Basics

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.

Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
